Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.


Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.


Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste


This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Nikonnola, what impresses me the most about New Orleans is the love people from there have for their city; they even cling to the broke down neighborhoods. Another thing that's impressive is how many successful people, and musicians who live there; musicians especially, move to New York or LA when they got the cash.

Now, I'm getting into the unique culture and history of New Orleans as much as I am the music, and I appreciate your informative posts.

Thank you Orpheus10. Acresverde, the story that I have heard from my friend who is Harry Connick, Sr's God-child, is that HCsr made a deal with James Booker to teach him how to play the piano in exchange for a forgiveness on a drug charge. James Booker live at Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall is an awesome live album of JB

Folks, I was in a hurry on my post about New Orleans musicians, and it states the opposite of what I was intending to say. (haste makes waste)

I intended to say that successful musicians from New Orleans, stay in New Orleans, while those from other places migrate to New York or LA as soon as they get the cash.

(hope I got it right this time)
